CHAPATHI / INDIAN FLAT BREAD

As we all know "Chapathi" is the most common dish in all homes . It is most healthy dish and everybody likes to eat daily . It is done using wheat flour .  It can be prepared for break fast or lunch or dinner , it suits for any time of the day . As all of us know chapathi very well there is nothing more to tell about it . so lets see how to prepare  chapathi ..... 

Ingredients :-

1. Wheat flour              2 cup
2. Salt                          1/2 tsp
3. Water                       1/2 - 1 cup
4. Curd / butter milk    1/2 cup (optional)
5. Oil
6. Rice flour

Method:-

In a mixing bowl add wheat flour and salt and mix well . If you are adding curd or butter milk (it gives very soft texture to chapati) then reduce the water quantity to 1/2 cup , other wise 1 cup is needed , you can add 1-2 tsp of oil while mixing but i don't as i add curd it gives softness then why to increase calorie  . Mix well and knead well to make dough .

Close the dough with a lid , let it set for 10-15 min.

Take small orange size dough and make round shape ball and press it , dust it with little rice flour and roll to make small round shape as shown below .

Now spread little oil say 1/4 tsp on it then spread rice flour / roasted gram powder .

  Fold it to half again repeat same spreading oil , rice flour/ roasted gram powder.

 Again fold it  to make triangle shape . Now start rolling from corners and roll on centre  to make round shape chapathi.

In between dust chapathi using rice flour so that u can easily roll it.

Heat the thava for 2- 3 min on high flame  then keep low , now spread few drops of oil on thava , place the chapathi on it  , & again spread few drops of oil on chapathi . keep medium flame .

flip and cook other side too. Once brown spots appear on chapathi it means its done .

Thats it  hot -hot chapathi is  ready to serve , serve it with any curry , chutney , sambar . Repeat  same procedure with remaining dough .
